Same woman. Same husband. Same house, more or less. And afterward, two completely different marriages.

  • Please put trigger warnings!

    I love this podcast and listen to it often as my pregnancy progresses. But please put trigger warnings if there will be talk of death/near death with mama or baby. This can be very triggering to women who are trying to only listen to positive birth stories in preparation to their birth and don’t want negative thoughts floating through their mind when it comes time for them to give birth. Otherwise it’s a wonderful podcast!

  • Educational & Encouraging

    At 17 weeks, I am now going through all the episodes for a second time. As I pray and plan for my own homebirth, each story/episode offers both education and encouragement. I love the variety of stories and interviews and all the warmth and compassion that Katelyn pours out from the heart. Thank you for such a wonderful resource 🩷💙

  • Thank you for the work you’re doing!

    Happy Homebirth is the reason I switched to a Homebirth and felt empowered to do so.

    Thank God

    It’s these stories by other women that remind me how God made us perfectly able to birth. With that there is a wide range of variations of normal and the only way to learn them is by other stories. Oh, the power of stories.
